Great new graphics and mini games
I have all the Fantasy Mosaics. The quality of the graphics for this one (42) has gone to a whole new level. The pictures are a bit more complex and challenging and some are downright funny and made me laugh. The Mini-games are a lot more fun too. I love this series and can't wait to get the next one.

Always great
I love the Fantasy Mosaic series. The puzzles are logic based and I enjoy the adventures of the penguins. I hope they continue to make this series.

Another gem!
These games are the only series I buy without trying the demo first--they are reliably fun to play and have no glitches. The mosaic pictures are imaginative, recognizable, and appropriately colorful. The variety puzzles added to recent games in this series only add to the fun. If you want an engrossing story, this is not the game (or series) for you, but if you want excellent mosaic puzzles, this developer provides the best I've encountered--all logic, no guessing, and charming pictures as the end result.

Keep them coming
I do not usually do reviews. I have old eyes and do not want to lose my penguins.I do not do HOGs for that reason. I get excited when I see a new mosaics they keep my brain going. If you are tired of them playing Fantasy Mosaics go play something else.

Aren't There Any Other Adventurous Critters Out There??
Fantasy Mosaics is a very fine series that never fails to bring us excellent nonograms with each new release. I own 20 of these and still have a few left unfinished because I lost interest. I do, however, check out the demo for each new game, but find nothing to inspire purchasing another.
The penguin family just doesn't hold the appeal it once had, it feels worn out. I really love the newer mosaic series that are available now and their cute storylines. They, too, are quality games and are a refreshing change in my collection
So many penguin adventures wouldn't be bad, I guess, if they presented something new once in a while. But everything stays the same and I don't even enjoy the decorating anymore. I wish this developer would retire the penguins and bring us a new critter family, create a different kind of area to decorate and change up the music a little. There are so many animal characters that would bring some new life and sweetness to the adventures and keep the fans always looking forward to more.
Fantasy Mosaics 42 was a little trip to Fairyland and Penny was delighted at her discovery. And I was delighted with all the really cute images and the colors were so well suited to the theme. I love fairies! Each picture, as always, was an adorable creation and easily recognizable except for one that had me a little baffled even with the label. First time that ever happened, lol.
I highly recommend this mosaic series for beautiful nonograms that are relaxing and fun. This is a great genre that provides me with endless hours of entertainment. Fairyland is another winner if you are not yet tired of the penguins!

Time to retire the penguins..
I have (I think) all these games. I only got this one because I had to use a free game coupon and there was nothing else I wanted.
It is no different than the others - even the introduction to each level uses exactly the same words.
On the plus side - it is logic based. At no time did I have to use a hint to solve a dilemma. Would be good for a beginner
However - all puzzles were quite easy to the point of being boring. There are way better mosaic games available - think rainbow.

I HAVEN'T BOUGHT FORTY-TWO HAVE YOU? IS THERE REALLY A NEED FOR FORTY THREE?
First, there was one and that was really fun. Then they kept coming, they hit the ground running. By the time they hit twenty, I thought surely that's plenty, but along came game thirty and the list grew quite wordy. Now six years later we're on game forty-two, is there really a need for forty-three?
For a while, they were surprising us with an occasional new feature but now we are getting a Fantasy Mosaic game every 2 months and they are all the same now, so there's just no need to play another one. I may as well go back to the beginning, with 42 games to play, it would be like playing a brand new game! I still love the genre, in fact, I recently played Detective Agency Mosaic and that game blew me off of my computer chair, so from now on, all other Mosaic games will have to meet the standard of that game...this one certainly doesn't come close! At least that game has an interesting story...Match Gems needs to come up with something more creative than the current, weak Penguin Family sagas, and ridiculous peek-a-boo rooms..the whole penguin family discovers aliens, a portal in the woods, time travels, etc. is getting kind of lame and it isn't really a story??
The only new features that have been added over the past 42 games, besides upgrading the color graphics, is a multi-color feature (added in game # 4) a Sun power-up (added on game #6) the addition of earning/deducting stars for using hints (on game # 15) two additional color bubbles offering 6 colors vs 4 (on game # 16) an Eye feature to view the background w/out the grid (on game # 18) an interactive garden feature (on game # 21) locked colors (on game # 27) different tile choices (on game # 28) an interactive workshop w/ mini-games (on game # 33) and Zen mode (on game # 34)
The Zen Mode has returned for those who prefer to solve the griddlers without all the hand/flipper holding. In Zen Mode, the numbers aren't crossed off but Mistakes aren't counted against you either, because chances are, you'll have to edit some of the cells as you switch between colors. You can delete filled-in or crossed-off cells by right-clicking the cell in Zen Mode, and you'll know you have completed a particular color correctly because a checkmark will appear on the color bubble.
You can play in a Casual Mode which crosses off the cells one by one, or the Advanced Mode, which only crosses off the remaining cells once the entire row and column have been filled in. You will earn a Gold trophy if you make no mistakes, a Silver trophy if you make one mistake, and a Bronze trophy if you make two mistakes. You will also earn up to three gold Stars if you don't use any hints, one star is deducted each time you use a hint. Therefore, it is possible to make a mistake or two but still earn 3 stars as long as you don't use any available hints.
There are 20 locations, and each location has 5 Griddlers and an additional mini-game. You can choose from 7 different tile sets, ranging in color vibrancy and styles. Locked Colors can be disabled in the Settings menu, otherwise, some of the colors are locked and unavailable until you uncover color-specific keys that are hidden beneath some of the filled-in cells The Eye feature allows you to hide the grid to get a look at the puzzle without all the grid lines, and there is a reset icon that makes it much easier to restart the level if you make a mistake.
There are groups of numbers located on each column and row of the grid, each group of numbers must be separated by at least one blank or crossed off cell. Sometimes it's easier to cross-off cells that can't possibly contain a filled-in cell, which will reduce the number of cells and narrow the playing field down a bit, when you get stuck, you can switch colors and work back and forth until it's solved.
Some of the cells contain bonuses such as extra hints, extra mistakes allowed, or an extra pickax which allows you to choose which cell you want a hint on, and some cells contain keys to unlock colors (unless you disable this feature in settings) There is a Sun icon as well that when fully charged, will give you a mega-hint, filling in or crossing off a 3x3 area of your choice.

How many more mosaics?
If you already have one or more of these, then don't bother with this game, it's exactly the same as all the other 41, which is no surprise, as this appears to be number 42 in the series and not even the cover photo is different.
With the help of a grid and numbers telling you spaces between tiles, you have to figure out the images and the surprise factor in this game seems to be: "Wow! I am so certain I have done this a few times before".
